Saw Free Reign last night

[SA_Gunslinger]

It was pretty cool. They played after the Rampage hockey game out at Headlines (patio bar in the ATT Center). There was even a couple of mosh pits before a Paul Blart look a like put a stop to that.

This was my first time seeing the band. My honest thoughts are they can actually play very well, but Marc is not the best singer in the world. He seemed off key a little bit, and more than once. I'm also not the hugest heavy metal fan in the world, but their music is definitely intense and fires people up, if nothing else. Still, for a bunch of football players, I was impressed at what they did well more than disappointed at what they didn't.

I got to meet all the guys. They were all REALLY cool. I told Colombo thanks for beating the eagles b/c I absolutely hate them, and they all laughed and Colombo was like "I hate them too. Beating them three times was great." Davis is a large, large man. He was the only one who didn't want pictures taken. Bummer, but that's certainly his call. Procter was so fired about about how good the crowd was. I feel bad for Justin....clearly the one people were least interested in for obvious reasons. I told him he should put on some pads and get to it.

Anyways, they were all genuinely excited at how fired up the crowd was and very appreciative, so that was really neat to see, especially considering these guys are all multi-millionaires who are worshiped on a weekly basis. Fun times. Here's a few pics.

sigh.....my buddy hit the wrong flash setting. fixed it as best as I could. :laugh2:

No wonder Colombo false starts at home all the time. He plays that stuff. Hearing check anyone?

Proctor...

He can't come out of his stance when the entire Giants' team is chasing Romo.

Where is bbgun with those great snap shots of that classic?

I'd break that band up, I say, break it up.

You don't have to be able to sing to do heavy metal just scream.

OK whatever. I'm glad you cleared that up.

Hey I was there last night at well! We pretty much had the same impressions as you as far as the music goes. My wife thought Cory did really well on the drums. We stayed and both of us were able to take some pictures with Marc Columbo and Cory Procter. Leonard Davis was a little shy but we were able grab a quick photo of me and Davis together.

It was an awesome experience and all of them were really nice afterward! We had a blast.

no way! I feel so cheated!

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

What a great night you had and thx for sharing.

Nice to know some celebrities take time with their fans. That, to me, shows humbleness and class.

And, yeah, too bad about the flash. I imagine soldiers in trenches during tests of the A-bomb might have seen that effect as well.
I had to turn away for a sec.

OK, looks like you had too much fun at the party and that's just mighty fine.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

hey Alter Ego you from san antonio? does the alamo really have a basement?

 

[KJJ]

OK whatever. I'm glad you cleared that up.

Rap and heavy metal were created for those who can't sing. :toast:

 

[AlterEgo]

Not my best picture but you can see the excitement or dorkism. Take your pick.

Living in San Antonio means I only visit the Alamo or Riverwalk when family or friends are in town. So to answer your question, no idea. I went there a few years back with my wife but I don't recall a basement.

Oh, Ok. I visited there last year and had at Rosaria's a schooner of frozen sangria and had a plate of enchiladas verde. I still remember, obviously, that meal.

I know what you mean, in fact I'm hungry now. Planning on coming back down for training camp?

No joke! And get this, at least from my vantage point, Marc Columbo is taller. I wonder if PhillyCowboysLover noticed the same thing. The picture of me and also my wife is embarrassing. We look like kids next to them. Also, seeing Columbo throwing out f-bombs was more than worth the price of admission to the hockey game. He looks mean but was so nice after their performance, they'll rocked!

i did notice that, too. i agree, he seems taller. It was funny that Marc was cussing.....especially b/c the ATT Center is typically so family friendly. I'm sure they weren't expecting that. It was a nice change of pace.

PS....I'll never understand why so many people from our city never go downtown. I love my city, and I go downtown every chance I get.
